2021 Audi RS6 Avant Vorsprung

This 2021 Audi RS6 Avant Vorsprung represents the top-spec flagship of the C8-generation RS6 line, sitting above the Carbon Black trim with a comprehensive equipment list as standard. Finished in grey with the Carbon Twill inlays, RS Steel Brakes with Red Gloss calipers and full paint protection, it has covered 27,136 miles — modest use for a four-year-old twin-turbo V8 super-estate.

The 4.0-litre TFSI V8 produces 592 bhp and 800 lb-ft of torque, launching this 2.1-tonne wagon to 62 mph in 3.6 seconds and on to 174 mph. Inside, the Vorsprung specification brings the Comfort and Sound Package with 360-degree camera, Audi Virtual Cockpit with RS-specific graphics, Head-Up Display, and electrically adjustable front seats with driver memory.

As the definitive fast-estate proposition of its era, the Vorsprung trim is the one to have — bundling options that would cost thousands individually on lesser trims, and offering Porsche Panamera Turbo pace with genuine five-seat load-lugging practicality.
